5 Vegas Series 'A' Animal

Here is another that I picked up from my CotM Club.

5 Vegas Series 'A' Animal  4.5" x 60 Figurado

Construction:

This thing is crazy. It's 4.5 inches and a 60 ring gauge....that's insane! This thing looks like a bowling pin but packs a decent punch of nicotine and dark earthy flavors. The cigar is made up of aged Honduran long-leaf tobaccos surrounded by a dark Costa Rican maduro wrapper.


Smoke:

I opened this cigar with my double-guillotine cutter and gave it a couple cold draws. I wasn't hit by the expected spice and raisin taste that I was expecting, in fact there wasn't much to the cold draw except the taste of cold tobacco (which isn't bad at all!). Once lit, I was greeted to flavors of warm earth and a grassy taste. This cigar was full bodied with an even burn, but not very complex on the flavors. I was really expecting a lot more from this smoke and was left wanting. I have another in my humidor, so I'm hoping age and humidity will make that one a little better. As it stands, this is going down as one I wouldn't buy, but would accept if someone gave me one.

Keep Smokin!
